Signal UK claims carbon-removal leadership as grid constraints push curtailment costs higher
Summary
A report signed by Ed Miliband declares the UK will become a global leader in atmospheric carbon removal, though the country accounts for under 1% of the 4 billion tonnes of CO2 emitted annually. Miliband has been moved to the Foreign Office to make development and the climate crisis central to British foreign policy, while wind curtailment costs caused by transmission constraints are set to rise to 320 million pounds, adding roughly 10 pounds to the average household electricity bill.
